Each year, the Annual Report is published in an effortto make the community aware of the work accomplished by the School Board and, more importantly, to celebrate some of the many accomplishments achieved by students and staff. Documenting all of the success stories from the past year in a single document would be nearly impossible, but the items highlighted in the Annual Report are representative of the many good things happening within Frederick County Public Schools. Despite the unforeseen and unprecedented challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the school division continued to make great progress in 2019-20. All schools were accredited at the highest level, the construction of Jordan Springs Elementary School continued so the school can welcome students for start of the 2020-21 school year and ground was broken for the replacement Robert E. Aylor Middle School. In addition, the division's new strategic plan, Inspire 2025: A Promise for Progress, continued to be implemented and will result in all of our students being equipped with the skills and competencies necessary to pursue and achieve their dreams upon graduation. No single person or group can take full credit for the many accomplishments celebrated over the past year. Frederick County Public Schools' success comes as a result of our community working together to see the school division's vision- "An innovative community where caring relationships and authentic learning inspire all students"- become a reality. I, along with my fellow Board members, consider it a privilege to partner with the Superintendent, students, families and the Frederick County Board of Supervisors to help position our students and staffto pursue their passions and be successful. I encourage you to take time to read through the Annual Report and reflect on the positive impact Frederick County Public Schools has on our community as well as the local economy. Most importantly, I believe you will better understand the critical role public education plays in the development of our community's children who are destined to be the leaders of tomorrow. Sincerely, � Jay W. Foreman Chairman, Frederick County School Board 2 Letter from the Superintendent Dear Frederick County Residents, The 2019-20 school year may be best described as a tale of two seasons. During the first season from July through February, we were focused on implementing our new strategic plan, Inspire 2025: A Promise for Progress, and nurturing all learners to realize their dreams and aspirations as stated in the school division's Mission Statement. Our focus shifted in March when the COVID-19 pandemic led to schools being closed for the remainder of the year. During this second season, and the unforeseen challenges it presented, the entire school division was driven by a desire to continue providing learning opportunities to all students while also helping to meet a variety of needs throughout the community. Although 2019-20 was far from a "normal" school year, our students, teachers, administrators, and other staffpersevered and continued to write success stories and positively impact the community. As we dealt with unprecedented challenges, it was gratifyingto see students and staffconsistently displaying many of the competencies that comprise the Frederick County Public Schools Portrait of a Graduate. These competencies include communication; collaboration; empathy; flexibility, adaptability and resilience; creativity and innovation; and critical thinking and problem solving. Although the past year was extremely challenging, I believe we learned many things which will only make us better in the future. The 2019-20 Frederick County Public Schools Annual Report details the important actions taken by the School Board over the past year as well as many of the accomplishments achieved by students and staff. A special section in this year's Annual Report highlights our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the extraordinary effortsu ndertaken to help address the crisis. Certainly, the progress and successes we've achieved come as a result of the support we receive from our community and I am appreciative of that continued support. Sincerely, 1)�7/� Dr. David T.
